Ahmedabad:

The flash strike of over 500 junior doctors of Civil Hospital in Asarwa area of Ahmedabad, which is one of the biggest medical facilities across Asia, ended on the second day today after a meeting between the representatives of doctors and DyCM Nitin Patel.

After the meeting in which the president of junior doctors association Hiren Bhabhor and Additional Chief Secretary, health, Commissioner Health, Superintendent of the hospital M M Prabhakar and other officials were present, the DyCM told newsmen that any attack or misbehavior with doctors who serve round the clock, would not be tolerated.

He said that it was natural for the relatives to get angry at the demise or pain of the patients but it does not give them the right to misbehave with or attack the doctors.

Patel said that the doctors have called off the strike. There would be proper security arrangement for them.

President of Junior doctors association had earlier said that all the six culprits of the incident of two attacks should be caught and booked under the act related to attack on doctors on duty. There should be better security arrangements for the doctors.

A senior police official said that so far no complaint by any victim has been lodged but on the information of the junior doctors association the investigation was on.

Junior doctors had also started a similar strike day before yesterday after a fight between junior doctors and the relatives of a patient but the matter was somehow resolved and they resumed duty later.

Yesterday a junior doctor of Orthopedics department claimed that two motorcycle borne persons wearing helmet beat him up in the parking area. After that the junior doctors went on flash strike again.

A highly placed source said that the claim of the junior doctor about attack over him in the parking lot today could not be substantiated by CCTV footage.

‘Earlier he said that the attack took place in the front parking lot but when no such incident was seen in the CCTV footage, he said that it was in the other one in the backside. There also no such incident was recorded in the CCTV camera,’ he said.

Meanwhile with the end of the strike the woes of the patients in the hospital who were were suffering owing to it has eased up. Prabhakar said that the strike has been called off and the doctors have resumed their duties.
